These products have the advantage, over soap. For instance I may add to the soap of polishes such as used at the present time, that barium remaining in the autoclave, and the the solvent does not exude, even at the highest weight of which is about 90 kilogrammes in the according to the present invention do not remelting point of which is 50-52 C.) and 28 kiloquire hermetic packing for storing and transgrammes of carnauba or candelilla wax.

It sufiices to add thereto, together with the mineral spirit acting as a dissolving or dispersing agent, a black colouring matter, such as nigrosin stearate and carbon black, in the proportion of 2% of nigrosin stearate and 1% of carbon black.

Example Il'I.The barium soap is prepared in the same manner as in Example I. kilogrammes of this barium salt are dispersed, at a temperature of 100 C., in 70 kilogrammes of turpentine and a colouring agent in the autoclave, without adding paraifin or wax. The mass is allowed to cool and poured into moulds at a temperature of 70 C. I obtain a polish for floors or furniture the Ubel-Hode point of which is 65 C.

Example IV.A barium salt is prepared with castor oil. In this case I heat in the autoclave, at a temperature of 120 (3., a mixture of 60 kilogrammes of castor oil, 32 kilogrammes of barium hydrate and kilogrammes of water. I obtain about '76 kilogrammes of barium soap.

In order to manufacture a boot polish with this product, I add to 30 kilogrammes of this barium soap 10 kilogrammes of a paraffin the melting point of which 'is -52 C., '70 kilogrammes of spirit of turpentine, 2 kilogrammes of nigrosine stearate and 1 kilogramme of carbon black. I heat the whole in an autoclave at a temperature of 105 0.; I allow the mass to cool and I pour it into moulds at a temperature of 70 C. The Ubel-I-Iode point of the boot polish thus obtained is 66 C.

In the process above described, barium hydroxide may be replaced, either wholly or partly, by lime or magesia for making the soap. I thus obtain polishes which, although inferior to those obtained from barium salts, still possess interesting properties.

What I claim is:

l. A polish, comprising a mixture of barium stearate by weight, paraffin of melting point 50-52 C. 28% by weight, hard Wax 17% by weight, colloidally dispersed in spirits of turpentine in a stable gelled condition.

2. A polish, comprising a mixture of barium stearate, 55% by weight, paraffin, melting point 50-52 C. 28% by Weight, hard wax 17% by weight, a coloring matter and turpentine all in the form of a stable colloidal jelly.
